EPTBtw, can anyone explain this GOM vs KeSPA-thing? And I thought Blizzard only sponsored GOM just like Intel ?
No GOM Classic Season 4? - Page 7

Once again KesPa showing they wanna rule it all with their monopoly, and destroying whatever/whoever wants to take a piece of the cake Definitely, this 2009 KesPa is destroying all that we love | ||

I will however miss the chances to see unique/old-timer gamers in proper televised matches and not just prelims. this is pretty much how I feel. Every season got progressively less interesting to me. In Season 3 the ONLY games I watch were the ones July played in. The game quality just isn't that good and the casting isn't that great, and there are just too many games going on between all the leagues. | ||

It wont end up good. But there's always hope! How is it hard to take sides against a group as power-drunk as Kespa?  | ||

Kespa doesn't want blizzard to encroach on their market so they are discouraging players from doing gom. When SC2 comes out kespa will get owned and back down or gom will become the main source for sc2. Respect. Couldn't agree more. | ||

Suggestions on how to generate the most hate, and make things as complicated for ourselves as possible?" KeSPA stooge #2: "War with Blizzard?" KeSPA stooge #1: "Love it!" I'm sure this is how it happened. haha i'm sure thats exactly how it happened. | ||

Cooperation is the only way that this industry will be able to expand further but I just don't see it happening. It really saddens me that it has come to this point where a league has been closed down due to differences in the interests of both companies. Its like a teacher not wanting his student to be smarter than he is just because he feels envious that he would be better than him. | ||

So much for Kespa promoting e-sports this will devastate the growth of e-sports outside Korea. This means all out war and I know whos side i will be on and who will win. Kespa have just shot themselves in the foot. They need Blizzard for SC2 and Blizzard is far more powerful than Kespa. There only option was to negotiate but now its to late. When SC2 comes out Kespa will no doubt try and ignore it but eventually as it becomes better balanced people will only want to watch SC2. Kespa will die. | ||
